The most famous traitor since the garden's kiss

Alright. There's tragedy in the comms so let's fall back to EVERYONE'S favorite betting pool.

Minerva, you vile old biddy,

What did you do to Isaiah?

( WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY SON )

Her smile. She has one that’s not her usual one (although yes, that is beautiful and yes, I can draw it from memory- if I was one who engaged in that sort of behavior) that is a half-smile when she’s looks just as likely to cry as she is to laugh; when she probably wants to do both. It’s like she’s realizing or remembering something and no matter what’s going on in the world, no matter where she’s at, or what shape she’s in…she realizes there’s something worth smiling at, (worth her smiling at) and so she does. I first saw it when we were watching a Charlie Chaplin movie, and she just kind of turned her head just right. I don’t know if she saw me watching her…but she just smiled.

It doesn’t come out often and it’s really been a handful of times I’ve ever seen it. But there are others who practically live in the light of that smile. Lucius, for one, he can make her smile by walking into a room. Ted has that ability too. I don’t blame them. They lived their lives together, the three of them, where Lucius left off, Ted picked up and I wouldn’t dream of holding that against them. There’s a silent comfort in knowing there are worlds behind Andromeda’s eyes that I don’t know about, there’s a silent thrill in knowing I can discover them.

But that smile and seeing it given to someone else still gets me every time.

His issues with all_for_love for our_issues. (Admit it, you laughed)

( When everything stops. )

The foolish tarot card mess.


( ...insert witty remark here )

Or 'hey it was the 70's' (what can I say- the prompt was a dare)

Disclaimer: several people are repeated, I’m not Lucius. And oh so locked from the little ones.

...scary.

PB you use most: I think Alan Rickman just because I have both Snape and Judge Turpin and using the movie!verse is better to me then recasting. Rickman is Snape to me. What do you mean he’s balding and has a goat tee? 

PB you ruined for others: I don't think I’ve done that with anyone but I’m going to take a shot in the dark and say Ian McShane as Fenrir Grayback.

PB someone else ruined for you (in a good way): Um, any of the grownup kids in Hpsixwords.

PB someone else ruined for you (in a bad way): Kiera Knightley
List 5 PBs that are now permanently associated with a character:
1. Paul Bettany- Draco Malfoy
2. Cillian Murphy- Harry Potter
3. Elisha Cuthbert- Luna Lovegood
4. Susan Saradon- Alecto Carrow (I KNEW SHE WAS EVIL)
5. Rachel Hurd Wood- Lily Evans

List at least 5 PBs you hate seeing and why?
1. Emo/Scene/Goth kids as Marauders
2. Trent Reznor as Severus Snape
3. Anyone “Hollywood” pretty as Snape. I can handle cute Severus (Oh Daniel Vosovic- you pretty gay Snape) but they have at least have something slightly unattractive about them. 
4. Anything but Jason Isaacs as older Lucius Malfoy.
5. Really popular repeating ones: Knightley, Depp, etc

Name a few trends you notice among your PB choices: Older men who rarely smile; women/children/younger children who kind of have this heaviness behind the eyes.

Name a PB you would like to use but just haven't: At the moment: Three.

1. Thomas Lalonde who I used briefly as young Snape and hated it every second of (see reason three on hated PBs)
2. Jimmy Jean-Louis because the man never smiles and just oozes radiance and majesty.
3. Noah Taylor because he has this other worldly look; that’s all his own.

Drabble because I hate empty journals.

It’s the little things that are the most painful, not the realization she is gone or that he killed her just as readily and surely as his Master had. It’s not knowing how she died, or why. Those he can dismiss away better then the Duke of Gloucester.

None were slain by my hand…not I…I tried to protect you. I tried to save you.

It’s the smaller things; that hurt even when she was alive. A sight that invoked a memory, the sound of a voice that rings like hers, her amazing kindness, and knowing…

Knowing it doesn’t exist anymore.

Or storytime with Severus.

What do you see as the biggest problem you and your significant other are facing in your relationship?

I’m going to tell you a story. It is all true, except for the parts that aren’t.

A spy and assassin came back from the dead only to discover that the war he died to help end is still raging almost two decades after the fact, and not only is he back but several friends on both sides (Did I mention he was a double and sometimes triple agent?) are back- including the love of his life- the one he got killed.

And in the middle of this war, with everyone clamoring around and trying to figure how to cope with teenagers, werewolves and each other- the Spy realizes he’s still in love with her and wants to marry her. But not yet. So he does the only thing smart but really stupid spies do; he pushes his sweetheart away and couples with a beautiful, independent, and amazingly strong woman who knew what he was and most of his secrets but didn’t push for them all.

Neither one of expected it to last beyond the war, it was one of those quick unions that are made because one lonely, and tired, and terrified and anything even false comfort in front of the television watching Charlie Chaplin DVDs are better then stealing sleep where you can and being alone.

Well the war is over, and we…well, they won. Kind of. And now, we’re picking up those pieces. I’ve gone back to my sweetheart, and she’s gone on with her life. Even is having a kid (not mine.) Life is slowly moving on.

Except we kind of, sort of, fell in love.
